Overview

The book provides a comprehensive overview of all relevant technical and environmental aspects relating to road vehicles with low-emission drive technology. The focus is on electric and hybrid vehicles, whose drive technology, energy storage (batteries, hydrogen) and charging systems are presented in detail. It also deals with overarching framework conditions such as climate protection, generation and distribution of electrical energy and hydrogen, raw materials, life cycle assessment and costs. The latest technical developments have been taken into account in this updated edition. The facts are made clear in many breakdown graphics. Examples deepen the material or provide a practical reference so that the content is more memorable for students. This book is aimed, among others, at students from the subjects of automotive technology, energy technology, electrical engineering, energy supply, energy economics, mechanical engineering and industrial engineering.
